One of the most prevalent tree diseases is Dutch Elm Disease, which affects elm trees. Early symptoms include wilting and yellowing of leaves, followed by leaf drop and dieback of branches. If left untreated, Dutch Elm Disease can quickly spread throughout a tree and to neighboring elms. To prevent the spread, our team at Sam's Tree Service can administer fungicide treatments and prune affected branches to promote tree health.
Another common disease is Oak Wilt, which primarily impacts oak trees. Symptoms include wilting, discoloration, and defoliation of leaves, as well as fungal mats forming under the bark. If you notice these signs on your oak tree, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent the disease from spreading to other trees. Our experts can diagnose Oak Wilt and implement a treatment plan that may include fungicide injections and root barriers.
In addition to fungal diseases, trees can also fall victim to bacterial infections such as Fire Blight, which affects fruit trees like apple and pear. This disease causes blackened, wilted blossoms and shoots, and if left unchecked, can lead to dieback of branches. At Sam's Tree Service, we can apply antibiotic treatments and prune affected areas to stop the spread of Fire Blight and preserve the health of your fruit trees.
It is important to note that early detection is essential when dealing with tree diseases. Regular inspections by our certified arborists can help identify potential issues before they escalate. By being proactive in monitoring the health of your trees, you can save time and money on costly treatments and prevent the loss of valuable landscape assets.
